• Creating social media content (e.g. for Careers socials or another organisation) 
• Creating a Podcast 
• Writing a Student Life blog post or reflection 
• Including a paragraph in a cover letter or interview, explaining the award’s value to a prospective employer 

Check out our Advocacy page for submission guidelines and more information. 

Write This Yourself  

Please do not use AI to write your reflections and Advocacy sections. We want to understand your unique Sustainable Action journey, and AI-generated content is often too generic. Writing it yourself also helps you practise non-AI assisted communication skills. This is an important skill, as employers can detect AI-written content, and relying on it may negatively affect future applications. 

As advocates for climate action, you should also be mindful of the negative environmental effects of AI and its impact on the planet. 

Final Stage: Award Completion 

By this stage, you’ll have demonstrated how you’ve enabled others to learn to live more sustainably – showing that you are an ‘agent of change’. 

Once you have completed all steps of the RED Sustainable Action pathway, including submitting your points, reflections, advocacy, and the after survey, the RED Awards Team will review your submission within a few weeks. 

If you are successful, we will email you your RED Sustainable Action Certificate. Your achievement will also be recorded on your RISIS profile and included in both your Diploma Supplement Annex and the graduation brochure. 

If you need to make changes and resubmit, please reach out to the team and we will support you through this process.
